24 November 2014 Stephen Littler, Corporate Performance Manager
Brief background to area being reviewed Present timetable of reviews for approval Suggest questionnaire agreement approach Agree interviewees to plan dates
Scope Emission reduction interventions undertaken through the Transport Partnership Review Area LCR where current LTP Partnership has control / influence
Aim (carbon and air quality) in the LCR
emissions
improved through Partnership intervention
interventions recognising those where only ‘influence’ exists
Outcomes
managing and reducing emissions
improve on current approach / capability
emission reductions supported and / or delivered by
the Partnership Methodology
Partnership activity in support of emissions reduction
managed, or otherwise
required emission reductions and / or targets
‘witnesses’
Local authorities have statutory responsibilities for local air
quality management (LAQM) under the Air Quality Strategy (AQS)
UK Air Quality Strategy objectives for the following pollutants:
EU legislative risks and fines due to poor air quality EU level targets and Directives eg vehicle emissions, fuels,
EURO standards
Climate Change Act 2008 (National target) No local statutory duty or requirements (was NI185) Are Policy and Strategic expectations Assessment tools for funding require an understanding of
impacts on CO2
Expect to see application of evidence-based remedial actions EU level targets and Directives eg vehicle emissions, fuels,
EURO standards
transport in the UK, compared to just 5% from buses (Department of Energy and Climate Change 2011).
Under heavily congested conditions tail pipe emissions can be increased by as much as 3 or 4 times.
from alternative fuels and are investing in low carbon vehicles, which are estimated to use 30% less CO2 than diesel equivalents
in carbon emissions in the transport sector due to reliance on fossil fuels
transport accounts for 74% of the UK’s consumption of oil
engines
CO2 – IPCC assessment report
“The net damage costs of climate change are projected to be significant and to increase over time..It is very likely that globally aggregated figures underestimate the damage costs because they cannot include many non-quantifiable impacts”

damage
Many impacts can be avoided, reduced or delayed by mitigation Declining and expensive fossil fuels
Many specific projects, some local embedding of
considerations, other nationally set mechanisms, some direct/indirect e.g.
LTP Goal 2 and indicators (short and long term actions) – LTP
annual report and data collection
New Transport Strategy (Transport Plan for Growth) –
Proposed Theme on carbon and emissions and KPI?
District Air Quality Action Plans Districts own internal Carbon Management approaches
Low Carbon Economy Committee led through the LEP Specific projects (next slide) On-going mechanisms: planning and development control,
traffic management, parking charges, highways design,
Measurement and modelling (MAEI)
LTP3 Partnership Progress (reported to P+R Oct 2014)
eg ticketing, supported services, information, accessibility
Emissions from transport depend on three key variables:
the fossil carbon content of fuel consumed; ALTERNATIVES the fuel efficiency of vehicles; TECHNOLOGY the distance travelled and the means of transport chosen.
BEHAVIOUR It is essential to address all three of these in the most cost- effective and practical way possible
